· About Escorted or Guided Tour
Globus

Board your ship in Deggendorf, Germany, and cruise the peaceful Danube River through Germany, Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary—stopping at some of Central Europe’s most splendid capitals and charming towns along the way.

Passau, Germany, is called the “City of Three Rivers” as it lies at the confluence of the Danube, Inn, and Ilz Rivers. Walk the city with a Local Guide and visit the Aldersbach microbrewery. In Linz, Austria, walk around the Hauptplatz, Austria’s largest medieval square and prepare your taste buds for an exclusive onboard food and beer-pairing dinner hosted by your beer expert. Enjoy the magnificent views of the picturesque Wachau Valley; in Melk, visit the magnificent Benedictine Abbey; and stop in Dürnstein, with its famous blue and white Stiftskirche. Vienna, the “City of Music,” makes an immediate impression with its lavish Hofburg Imperial Palace and neo-renaissance Vienna Opera House. Enjoy a guided tour of this magical city; then visit the Ottakringer family brewery; and in the evening, enjoy a pub crawl. In Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, a guided walk takes you through the delightful Old Town and a visit to gothic St. Martin’s Cathedral.

Your last stop is Budapest, the vibrant capital of Hungary, where a local expert shows you all the must-see sights. A fitting end to a remarkable river cruise vacation!
